While rebutting another post here on Lemmy, I ran into this. This says exactly what I want to say.

I am not a friend of Biden’s Administration. I think they drug their feet over a variety of things ranging from holding Trump and his goons accountable for January 6th through rulemaking on issues like OTC Birth Control and abortion rights, and yes, I think he’s too quick to please big business. But then I remember what the alternative is, and … well, disappointed in Biden or not, I’m voting for him. Because my wife is a Black bisexual goth woman, four strikes under Team Pepe’s tent. And I have my own strikes for marrying her as a White dude, and respecting her right to not have kids since she doesn’t want them is another strike against me. And I care about my Non-Christian, Gay, Transgender, and Minority friends, and will never willingly subject them to Team Pepe.

    after the election I’m going to actively criticize everything about the Democratic party I can so that we have a chance to get a progressive candidate in 2028.

    That’s how it’s supposed to happen.

    You won’t get the option if the other side wins.

      Well we’ve had that option for over three years and for over three years Biden has told us to go fuck ourselves. If that’s how the system is supposed to work then the system isn’t worth defending for me. I’ll leave that to the people who actually benefit from it.
